Attitude

The other day I was telling someone how old I was and then the fiancee (still love using that word – so fancy pants) told me I was wrong. That came as a considerable shock. I am not often wrong, but she proved her case with the clever (and I’m not entirely sure, honest) use […]

The film “Fight Club” was one of my favourite films for a long long time. It’s about a couple of guys who essentially are tired of self-medicating and self-sedating with shopping, possessions, alcohol, drugs. Tired of chasing the empty dreams of Western culture, they instead insist on finding their authentic way of being in order

I’ll put my hand up and say that I am guilty of telling people to choose to be more positive. I say guilty, but I’m not sorry –  your choice to see things in a more positive light changes many things, not least your enjoyment of life. I know the more you are positive the

You know the troll that lives in your own head? Far worse than the ones on the internet. Or the ones that live under bridges. It is so easy to fall into harsh self-criticism. Don’t do it. The more you listen, the more it talks. You think it’s useful feedback, but it really isn’t. It’s

You know, it’s clearer to me than ever the power of your own mind. What thoughts you believe changes everything. The story that you tell yourself, the tale that you believe to be true. Your attitude – your mindset…

Self-development – isn’t it a funny term? I never usually use it but somehow it popped out of my fingers this morning as I write. You see you are already developed. A more accurate term would be self-remembering. In this game of self-development or self-remembering you get the clarity to remember and to be who

And so we come to after Christmas, that period when we slow down the eating and drinking, take stock, wonder what promises and resolutions we might make – and which ones we’ll actually keep – for 2016. 2016! Where did that come from? If you do make a resolution, back it up with a plan.
